If you are a keen environmentalist, then you are probably happy to do your own share of preserving the natural beauty of the Earth. And this desire would obviously affect your choice of holiday type. However, with the huge number of highly modern facilities that are available today, you’ll be hard pressed to find eco friendly holidays where you can spend your vacation in peace. So to save you trouble, here are some great facts on a most popular eco friendly tourist attraction that you can check out for yourself: AquaCity Found in the northern part of Slovakia, it is quite popular for its green technology that easily makes it the most environmentally conscious resort in Europe, which gives it a unique difference. Its success is basically based on its own geothermal water source that is surrounded by water parks, two hotels, saunas and spa centers, bars and restaurants and even a number of conference facilities. They use naturally powered technology that allows them to cut down their operating expenses and provide cheap rates for its clientele. In fact, AquaCity has won the Green Globe Award, which is internationally renowned award for environmental sustainable tourism. Currently, owners say they have plans underway for the construction of a dome similar to that of the Cornwall Eden Project, a new bowling lane, stadium and about 25 more pools that will be perfectly set in a tropical paradise landscaping. The resorts also feature 3 massive solar panels as well as huge wind generators to make its commitment of being an energy self-sufficient facility. Due to its use of its natural resources, the resort operators claim to save as much as 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Aside from that, the resort claims to save as much as 2 million dollars in its heating and energy cost and the money was instead spent on enhancing further the beauty of the resort. So if your idea of getting close to nature includes wallowing in the ethereal wonders that were carefully preserved and remained unfettered, then AquaCity is most certainly the best place where you can spend and enjoy eco friendly holidays that will be well within your budget. This is probably the most environment friendly holiday other than cottage rental.
